  • Please join the low carb group on this site. Scroll down on the main page to see the link. Members follow all kinds of different LC plans and we are a very accepting and supportive group.
  • Hey folks...please come join us on the low carb group (scroll all the way down on the main menu to see the link). We'd be happy to see you there!
  • I could care less about the spice cake but thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing the link. Now I have one more really good keto site to go to!
  • Good to know...I've never used Instagram...I guess I will need to start!
  • I just got back from my second walk. Did one just after dinner and another just now. I will get to see the super moon one last time at 6 am when I walk the pup after his breakfast. It really is beautiful. I was in FL and overcast conditions prevented me from enjoying this year's blood moon, so I am appreciative that I can…
  • I have had mild depression and moderate anxiety all my life. The anxiety is what made me so successful in my professional life as I always worried whether I did things right, did I do things in the best way possible. I white-knuckled thru it all for 25 yrs, only seeking talk therapy when things got to crisis mode. I am now…
  • No cheating on tests...do what you normally do so your tests give you as much valid information as possible. Education is key and will let you know if you should continue on the same path or make some tweaks to optimize health.
  • Reframe this for yourself. You were at the gym. You were working out. You are pursuing your weight/fitness goals. You are awesome and what you should have heard is that you are "phat!" Own it! Keep up your good work and establish your self-worth from the inside...you know yourself...the idiot that used the term "fat" has…
  • Hey Elizabeth...it's "yes ma'am" not "yes sir". No worries...Dawn gets translated to Don very often. I am so happy that you are already doing workouts with them...gives you realistic expectations. I have an older sister who is an Army retiree (radiologist) and another who is still active duty (ER doc/sports medicine…
  • Websites that I find helpful are www.dietdoctor.com and especially www.intensivedietarymanagement.com
  • I'm retired from the USAF and the last 4 years of my career I struggled. I was always within standards (maxed pushups, maxed crunches, run was a bit slow) but was not happy that the extra 2 inches I carried on my waist impacted my fitness scores. Sad...I was an officer...often in command positions but was made to feel…
  • Or...if you want something to happen right now and have it over and done with...try a salt flush. Just google. This became a "thing" after Beyoncé did her "lemonade cleanse". I have done in lieu of an enema as prep for a medical procedure. If there is anything in your GI tract you can expect results in 20-30 min. Assuming…
  • That looks absolutely delicious! Personally I would eat that in a heartbeat and if my macros were low on fats, I would just put a big heaping scoop of coconut oil into my chamomile tea before bedtime.
  • I just got mine last week...was lucky as the VA provided it to me. I did buy the stand an a carry case. I was always able to access one at the HAWC (health and wellness center) when I was active duty...so nice to have one of my own now. I spend a lot of time outside. Winter is usually in FL, but this year am in KS so…
  • Too bad the wagon doesn't have seat belts to keep us from falling off now and then. :smiley:
  • OMG! You are hereby banned from this group! Just kidding...really...one bad day is not going to throw things that off unless one day turns into two or if you have a lot of those "one days". Rest easy...you'll make up for it tomorrow. :smile:
  • OMG...I would love to see/hear this...please share if and when you find...
  • I go back time and time again to the healing words someone provided me when I was in an abusive relationship. Many friends and family demonized my partner, which prompted me to come to his defense rather than advocate for myself. Never ask an abused person "why do you stay?" because that most often triggers…

  • I think it was a Kashi bar...back in the days when I still did carbs. Thank goodness I was never tempted by anything containing Olestra (frankenfood)
  • Years ago I made my own mistake with a "healthy" snack that contained inulin before boarding a plane. Guess what...gas expands under low pressure...3 hours of hell...never again.
  • BPC is my breakfast on my eating days too. I have come to enjoy it very much.

  • This sounds so good! I can't wait to try it myself.
  • I am on the "dog diet"...I walk my dog 1 mile after two daily meals plus another mid day so he can do his business. 3 miles daily...very easy to incorporate and the mid day & evening walks are both after my meals too. A win-win for me and my furry kid. Maybe they should have recommended everyone being prescribed a dog.…
  • This thread looks (sounds) like every conversation at holiday get-togethers. I am pro-diet control of disease when possible. One of my four sisters is high level pharm doc at Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK). Two other sisters are MDs...one a radiologist, the other an ER doc/toxicologist/sports med doc/bodybuilder. One is…
  • Congrats on your awesome progress with LC. I think everyone does keto a little differently depending on individual needs. Take the input from everyone on this forum, visit a few macro calculator sites and experiment for yourself. You will eventually find the balance that is right for you.
  • What an awesome, inspiring NSV! Yay for everyone!

  • Another congratulations on quitting smoking! Glad you feel you no longer need the Chantix poison to kill the craving for the other poison. You go, girl !!

  • Wow! I think this will be my new birthday meal. Thank you SOOOOO much for sharing the recipe website. I will probably not be able to wait til my birthday (or the weekend) to try them.
  • Oh my...now we need a separate thread..."Food Porn" I guarantee that I would be "peeping" every day. :wink: Oh my...now we seriously need a new separate thread..."Food Porn" I guarantee that I would be "peeping" every day. :wink:
  • I am a noob to this forum...can someone tell me what they mean when they reference "gray" ??
